teatime is home

and feeling ok. he's walking a bit delicately..but he's eating like a hoover and nursing on newg and running up and down the stairs--so all is better in catland again.

he has to be on some meds for a while--cefa tablets? I've never done this with any other kitties, anyone know about that?

Zach is mad....he kept saying "you took him to the cat store, you are supposed to LEAVE him there, I'm the baby cat!"

ah, sibling rivalry.

matt's moving to Australia

And I'm happy for him. I know what it is when you have to leave, when it's time to go. I've loved him for so many years...what, 10 now? and I respect him and I've seen him grow and change and become a wonderful man and a caring father. I'm so proud of him and proud to call him my friend.

It's hard that we are so far away from each other...not just with me living in Chicago, because he has his brother here, so he'll visit...but that Australia just seems further away than California...well of course. Luckily for us there is email and there will be net meeting
and gloom and live journal. I'll never let him slip away. He's been the brother I always needed--he stood by me through difficult times and happy ones and I hope I've done the same for him. He is one of my best reality checks, and while I might not manage that for him, I will always give him love and friendship.

If you are known by the company you keep, by the friends that you have, then I'm a very lucky person to have him as chief among them.

I love you Matt. You are one of the people I love the most and I'll always be there for you. You have my everlasting respect and pride. I'll never forget the words you gave us at our wedding..you were a perfect stand in for my father, better I think than he would have managed. You are a good man and a good father and the best friend anyone could ask for.
